Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Hunt Recreation Center

Holly Springs, NC 27540

In remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr., we come together as a community through acts of service. Join us for the fifth annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 19 from 9 a.m. - noon at the Hunt Recreation Center.

Join neighbors in the multipurpose room to complete a section of a giant paint-by-number mural, transforming collaboration into a piece of community art. This location holds special significance, as the Hunt Center is named in honor of W.E. Hunt, a former community leader and principal of the school for Black children that once stood on this site. 

No prior painting or art experience is required—just a willingness to help and have fun. Volunteers will assist with painting sections of the mural under the guidance of Parks & Recreation staff. All supplies will be provided. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. While the project is intended for volunteers ages 16 and up, those ages 10-15 can assist with a parent or guardian in attendance. Please register each adult volunteer separately.

Preregistration is required for this free program to ensure adequate supplies; secure your spot by registering at the link below.
